Comments Thread For: Team Usyk Prepared To Stand Firm On Mandatory Status In Lieu Of Fury-Joshua Talks

[Bronx2245]

It's funny how many people say they love boxing, but consider anything other than a war to be boring. They may not have as much replay value, but I love watching the sweet science. I rewatched Fury/Klitschko last week and got really into it.

So do I! Just recently watched some Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker highlights! R.I.P. Champ!

Whyte has already said he isn't interested in fighting Usyk, because he isn't a big enough name. Usyk has never said anything about wanting to fight Whyte. If two guys aren't interested in fighting each other, there's nothing the sanctioning bodies can do about it.

But why would the WBC and WBO want to co-operate on a Whyte/Usyk fight anyway? What's in it for them?

So they can make Joshua vs Fury for all the belts within having these two complaining and making appeals.

I think that's more likely than Whyte and Usyk fighting each other for a devalued WBC belt. Usyk might be up for fighting Whyte, if his match with Chisora falls through, but I can't see Dillian agreeing to it.

And Pulev wasn't ever close to beating Klitschko so if you are going to use this triangle theory to predict Joshua v Pulev; Joshua wins in the 1st round.

No theory. I am just pointing out how you said so and so lost to an old guy but fail to mention how another fighter almost lost to an even older version of the same guy...............

[Silver Spear]

Cause that’s not how things work in boxing.

And I don’t see how beating Pulev would show he’s fighting the best.

Well you have 2 mandatories and he has already pushed one aside so is it alright to push him aside again for a new mandatory? My point is that if he has two mandatories, why not have those 2 mandatories fight each other for the definitive mandatory spot?

I am basing the "best" off of their current rankings. Is Usyk just aiming for belts? If so then again why not beat Pulev become the mandatory for that belt along with the current one he is mandatory for. If he is fighting the "best" then why not defeat all mandatories and become ultimate mandatory so no champ can avoid him?

Love Usyk. But he should let Fury and Joshua fight. That's the fight everyone wants to see. In the meantime, he should focus on building his credibility at heavyweight.

Usyk is the mandatory in a position to acquire the A.J fight at any time he doesn’t need to fight Pulev who is ranked in a separate sanction body so it doesn’t make sense . Have you seen Pulev resume in the past few years ? He was actually Joshuas mandatory way back since near 2016 but kept avoiding it ,he was shifted back as one recently so he can’t cry about anything .

Usyk isn’t going to be on his to do list with putting his own shot in jeopardy , it’s also why Usyk is taking his time with A.J he could have fought him already but said he wanted more fights ,neither Pulev or Usyk is going to fight anyone they think can defeat them before getting title shots .

[Armchairhero]

Usyk is way better than likes of Pulev, Whyte, Psrker, Ortiz etc. He deserves a shot.

Really, which top 10 heavyweight has he beaten to prove it?

How he can be a mandatory is beyond me, he should have to fight Whyte/Parker or anyone who is ranked.

Personally I think he gets chinned against any of the top guys.

Who he Pulev fought? Lol.


Do you have issues with this WBO rule in any other weight class? Or just now at heavyweight?

It was an edge of your seat fight, especially with what was at stake. Fury controlled the pace and the ring, mesmerizing Wlad with his lead hand like a wizard with a wand. Fury proved that night his ring IQ and his ring general ship were thing of legend.
